Ditto!!

Am also SoCal. Surgery, your, is this Wednesday. I wish you all the luck in the world!! Mine is a week from Monday. Do you plan on taking a communication device with you? Reason I ask is, I'm willing to be a support system if you need or want someone to chat with. I realize you/we may not be in mood to be chatting, but if you do feel the need I am willing. I know I will be wanting to chat / talk with someone...anyone during my hospital stay (surg day +2) cause I will get bored. Who better to chat with than someone mere days difference of our surgeries. If interested let me know and I can inbox you my cell number and info about myself so you can know me a tad bit better.

Single Californian here. Antelope Valley to be exact.

Ditto! I also get to watch the Super Bowl on clear liquids. Should be interesting!

Hi, It seems to be intensifying as it draws closer. I'm at the point just do it already so I can stop debating it in my head.

Wow, lotta February's. It's nice to see so many participating. Good Luck to everyone!! Update for me; Someone above stated exactly how I feel, excited, but nervous and wanna do this. I watched the surgery on youtube, that was a bad idea. lol. The tube is mentally bugging me for some reason. Auto immune disease here too. Vertigo.

My Preop was Jan. 10th, and yes they give you a detailed diet. Plus, examples of what to eat. Myself, I'm on a 1,400 cal diet until two days out then liquid only. I am so ready, only been overweight for about 10 years.......I want my life back!!!

Awesome.....3 Feb. 4th's and a Preop on 4th as well. Our lives are going to change forever!! I welcome the change and challenge.

Completely agree!! Thank you!!

My soon to be X-wife is not supportive at all. Matter a fact her exact words were, "Your being selfish and only thinking of yourself".

Good luck Kim!! We're all hoping you get great news. Kimo For me it's the 10th, which seems like forever away. lol.

Hello my name is Kimo. I have done everything Kaiser has asked of me, now I am just waiting to meet my surgeon on Jan. 10, 2012. Only been over weight for about 10 years and I'm tired of battling diets, etc.. The sleeve is my choice because bypass has potentiel for ulcers and malnutrition. Having had surgically repaired ulcer/s I am in now looking to do something that can cause more. Ulcers, bleeding are no joke!! No disrespect towards anyone who has or will have bypass. It's just not for me. I do have one question that I seem to be finding hard to get a solid answer to. What are the Vitamin requirements Pre & Postsurgery? Does anyone have or know of a broken down list of what to take and when to take? Yes, I know, I should already know this, but I got side tracked with wanting the Bypass surgery. I fully understand how to do and what to do for the Bypass. Any help and or comment could and would be helpful. Lastly, Is anyone out there living in the Antelope Valley, CA. area or near by who's interested in support giving and getting??? Thanks to whomever reads and or responds. KM

@ThecurvyJ.................Thank you!! Good luck to you and your adventure

@Angelarda.................Sorry meant no disrespect!

Hello, Just wondering what people think about this magazine? Is it worth the price $24.95?? Thanks!! KM

@Angelarda, Hi! As I scanned over your profile I noticed a few things, one being, only a single day hospital stay. We, bariatric class, were told we'd be in hospital a minimum of three days. What was your first couple days like after getting back home? Wow, a hundred and ten LBS. AWESOME!! Bet you have guys tripping over another trying to get dates. Will stop here for now before my flirtyness scares you away. lol Have a great day/weekend & Happy New Year!!
